Overview

The ""Proceedings of the National Conference of Social Work"" offers a comprehensive record of the discussions and scholarly papers presented during the fifty-first annual session held in Toronto in 1924. This volume serves as an essential historical document for understanding the evolution of social welfare and professional social work during the early 20th century. It features contributions from leading figures in the field, addressing a wide array of critical issues including child welfare, public health, community organization, and industrial relations. Throughout the text, readers will find deep explorations of the social challenges of the era and the innovative strategies proposed to mitigate them. The papers examine the role of social work in promoting democracy, the impact of immigration on urban centers, and the development of mental hygiene as a specialized branch of service. By documenting the exchange of ideas among practitioners and academics, this collection provides invaluable insights into the social reform movements and public policy debates that shaped modern social services. It remains a vital resource for sociologists, historians, and social work professionals interested in the roots of social action and human service administration.
